The Marianas are home to one of the oldest Pacific Island cultures. The Marianas were settled by seafaring peoples from Islands in Southeast Asia more than 3,500 years ago.

The Ten Commandments, also known as Aseret HaDibrot ("Ten Sayings" in Hebrew) or Decalogue, are the first ten of the 613 commandments given by God to the Jewish people. They form the foundation of Jewish ethics, as well as civil and religious law. These commandments are mentioned twice in the Torah -- once in Exodus and again in Deuteronomy.
